Number-one receiver baton being passed for Arizona Cardinals

A day that every fan knows is coming is approaching rapidly for the Arizona Cardinals. The great Larry Fitzgerald has had an incredible career, but the time for him to hang up the cleats is drawing near. Finding a replacement for the 11-time Pro Bowler has been on the club’s agenda, and the Cards have finally brought in a wide receiver who is worthy of taking the baton.

DeAndre Hopkins, a star wideout who spent the past seven campaigns with the Houston Texans, is a fantastic heir apparent for the aging Fitzgerald. Thanks to a shocking trade engineered by general manager Steve Keim, the 27-year old phenom was acquired this past Monday.
